Do I like VEGETABLES?

So, awhile back Aaron had read something that I had written in a note on Facebook. It was something about Vegetables that I dislike. I wrote something like "I can't think of any, maybe Asparagus, but I eat it." To that, Aaron said something like, "You don't like any vegetables!"

Ever since then, I think about this often. Let me say...YES I DO!

The problem is, is that I probably don't eat them in they way most people do. Say...ON A SANDWICH! Most people like to put all kinds of vegetables on their sandwich, not me, I like pickles on my sandwich and that is it. Lettuce is meant for a salad, so is Spinach. Olives are meant to be eaten alone. Tomatoes can be on a sandwich, but only on a Bacon Tomato sandwich! They can also be in a salad. I also eat Tomatoes plain, because I LOVE THEM. Cucumbers...again salad or alone. Carrots, I'm not sure how I even feel about them being in a salad, they too need to be eaten alone. I don't like to mix my vegetables much. Even my salads are pretty plain.

Then there is the whole cooked or raw issue. Here's the deal...some vegetables I like raw. Some vegetables I like cooked. And some, I even like both ways! I found a list of basic vegetables. I want to give you the run down on how I like them.

Artichoke - Cooked. Alone.
